So it takes a global war on terrorism.

The average response on the part of Americans today is about 100,000. The official figure is about two million. The actual figure is probably three to four million.

What would that tell us about German political culture?

Its crucial value is that it diverts your attention from a question that does mean something: Do you support our policy? That's the one you're not allowed to talk about.
